Definition
遭到 means 'to suffer or meet with' something unfortunate, like an injury or opposition. It is very close to 遭受, but 遭受 emphasizes sustaining a concrete loss or damage (e.g., 遭受损失), while 遭到 is broader and can also cover abstract things like rejection. 遭遇 (zāo yù) is more formal and often describes a whole ordeal or bitter experience.
